Where they work

More glass, less frame

An aluminium frame carries the same glass in a narrower section than timber or uPVC, so more of the opening is window and less of it is frame. That's most useful where the glass is doing the work — a rear elevation, an extension, a flat with a view worth keeping. It's also the sensible replacement when tired uPVC has to go and the house isn't a period property that calls for timber. On a listed building or a conservation-area frontage, timber is usually still the right answer, and we make those too.

How ours are built

  • Thermally broken frame

    A polyamide barrier inside the profile separates the cold outer face from the warm inner one, so the frame doesn't draw heat out of the room.

  • Casement, tilt and turn, or fixed

    Openers where you need ventilation, fixed panes where you don't — worked out opening by opening rather than applied across the whole elevation.

  • A finish that stays put

    Powder coating doesn't need repainting the way a timber frame does, and the colour goes on inside and out.

  • Bays and shaped openings

    Bay and angled runs are set out and made as one assembly, so the corner posts line up rather than being fudged on site.

Common questions

Aluminium or timber — which should I choose?

It depends on the building. On a period frontage, or anywhere a conservation officer is involved, timber is usually the right answer and we make those on our timber side of the business. On a rear elevation, an extension or a post-war house, aluminium gives you slimmer frames, bigger panes and a finish that doesn't need repainting. Plenty of London houses end up with both.

Do aluminium frames feel cold?

Not if they're thermally broken. Bare aluminium conducts heat readily, which is why a polyamide barrier is set inside the profile to separate the outer face from the inner one. Every frame we fit is built that way.

Can I have different colours inside and out?

Yes. The frames are powder-coated, so the inside face can be one RAL colour and the outside another — useful when the room wants something warm and the elevation wants something dark.
